As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) defeated the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final in Ahmedabad on Sunday (May 31), celebrations erupted across the country, including Hyderabad. However, the festivities in several parts of the city turned disorderly, with multiple videos circulating on social media showing instances of vandalism, traffic disruptions and violations of public safety norms.

Police were forced to intervene at a number of locations and reportedly resorted to mild lathi-charge in some areas to disperse unruly crowds and restore order.

The Secretariat Road stretch, which has increasingly become a major point for public celebrations following major sporting victories, witnessed large gatherings on Sunday night. Hundreds of fans assembled to celebrate RCB’s title triumph, but several were seen obstructing traffic and flouting traffic regulations. One video from the area showed a group of supporters striking police barricades, causing them to topple onto the road and disrupt the flow of vehicles. Others were seen moving around shirtless and creating a nuisance in the vicinity.

In another incident reported from KPHB, a group of people was seen throwing around waste baskets left behind by vendors after the weekly Sunday vegetable market. Videos showed individuals scattering objects onto the road while blocking traffic and engaging in disruptive behaviour.

Another video circulating online showed a man emerging through the sunroof of a moving car and setting off a rocket firecracker while holding the cracker box in his hand, raising concerns over public safety and reckless conduct during the celebrations.

Amid the celebrations, RCB urged supporters to mark the occasion responsibly. In a post on X after the victory, the franchise advised fans to celebrate with their families and avoid gathering in large crowds. “Best way to celebrate is with your loved ones. Relive the memories, and enjoy this special moment from the comfort of home,” the team said.

The appeal comes against the backdrop of the tragic event that followed RCB’s maiden IPL title win in 2025. During victory celebrations in Bengaluru, a crowd crush outside the stadium resulted in the deaths of 11 fans and left more than 50 others injured.

The decision to go on a strike was taken on Sunday at a meeting of the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh.

Hapur, UP:

The Uttar Pradesh Police on Wednesday lodged an FIR over the alleged lathi-charge on lawyers here recently, naming 51 policemen and mentioning 90 unnamed personnel.

The development comes after lawyers across UP went on a three-day strike beginning Monday to protest the alleged police action against advocates in Hapur district.

Police had allegedly lathi-charged lawyers on August 29 when they were protesting against the registration of a case against a woman advocate and her father around a week ago.

On the complaint of an advocate, the FIR has been registered against policemen under IPC sections 147 (rioting), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide), 354 (assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 392 (robbery), Additional SP Mukesh Mishra said.

 Senior advocate Sudhir Rana filed the complaint against 51 policemen, including circle officer (city), six inspectors, and 14 sub-inspectors, and about 90 unknown policemen at City police station, Hapur Bar Association (HBA) president E Haq said.

The HBA has also decided to boycott the ‘Rashtriya Lok Adalat’ to be held on September 9, he said, adding that members of some political parties and social organizations reached the protest site on Wednesday.

On August 30, police had registered an FIR against 17 lawyers and over 250 unidentified people at City police station in Hapur over a protest by some advocates at the tehsil crossing.

The decision to go on a strike was taken on Sunday at a meeting of the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh, which has demanded the transfer of the Hapur district magistrate and superintendent of police, lodging of FIR against policemen, withdrawal of fake cases against lawyers and compensation to lawyers injured in the lathi-charge.

Speaking at the dharna by the lawyers here, advocate Anil Azad slammed police for a “cowardly” attack on the advocates and said their strike will continue until the demands are fulfilled.

HBA secretary Narendra Sharma said that the Azad Samaj Party led by Chandra Sekhar Azad has extended support to the agitating lawyers.
